The ace Comedian, Ali Baba has thrown a subtle shade on generosity, stating that it is a widow's might not compulsory. Read from him
@alibabagcfr: "Generosity... Is a life dictate but no be by force oooo!
You no know wetin the person you ask for help, also need help for. Just
bear it in mind that, everyone has their personal battles. If someone is
battling on how to pay school fees, it's the wrongest time to ask the
person for a small loan to make up the amount you want to use to buy an
iPhone 6S that you saw at very good price.
People will weigh what you want to do, against the sacrifice they have
to make to help you or the important things on their to do list. They
may choose to also consider your lifestyle and your capacity to pay
back. Not to mention that major consideration of if they can afford to
not get the loan back. There is also the matter of who needs help the
most at the time you asked for it.
The person in hospital needing surgery or you who wants to buy a laptop
for your business? Is it a guy who needs to pay school fees or your rent
that is due? A single guy who needs cash or a single mum who has to
feed herself and hers? Are you a generous person? Would you help others
if it were you? Are you the person's responsibility? What attitude did
you exhibit when you asked for the assistance? There are people who do
not have, but do not mind going broke to help you or even going to
borrow to sort you out. However, some people just don't like to help.
They can have what they can help with, several times over, they still
won't help.
While you have some people who have donor fatigue and just need some
time to recover. Sat with wealthy man last year, he taught me about
dynamics of generosity. He said, "2 people get N10m... One decides to
spend his on looking good. Shoes! Clothes! Perfumes! Good life! All the
works...... The other spends his on doing good by spending on friends in
need and family..... The wealthy man now asked me, who do you think
society will consider the most successful? I answered the guy looking
good. He said of course! And added, that is why anyone who likes to do
good has to work harder so that his good works don't come to nothing.
Because, his 10m has to become 30m or else the stingy guys 10m will look
like 30m, since Nigerians believe and live by what they see than what
is real"
